Iron deficiency symptoms Tiredness & Exhaustion Iron deficiency impairs the production of hemoglobin – the red blood pigment that transports oxygen. As a result, cells receive less oxygen, leading to fatigue and lack of energy. The body tries to compensate for the lack of oxygen by increasing the heart rate. This leads to palpitations, shortness of breath, or a feeling of pressure in the chest – especially during physical exertion. Concentration problems & mental exhaustion Muscle weakness & reduced endurance Iron is crucial for energy production in muscle cells. A deficiency can lead to rapid fatigue and decreased performance, both in everyday life and during sports. An iron deficiency test is particularly useful for physically active people. Iron deficiency can manifest externally, for example through noticeably pale lips, nail beds, or skin. Such changes are often overlooked, but are a possible indicator. Pale skin & mucous membranes Sensitivity to cold & constant feeling of cold Anyone who feels cold even at normal temperatures could be suffering from iron deficiency – because iron plays a role in regulating body temperature. Anyone who feels cold even at normal temperatures could be suffering from iron deficiency – because iron plays a role in regulating body temperature. Hair loss & brittle nails Psychological symptoms & sleep problems Restlessness, depressive moods, irritability, or difficulty falling asleep can also be related to an iron deficiency – via a disrupted production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine. An iron deficiency test offers a simple way to rule out organic causes. Why an iron deficiency test is so important Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies worldwide, yet it often goes undetected . The ferritin level , which indicates how well the bodys iron stores are replenished, is crucial for assessing iron status. Ferritin is a key storage protein for iron and therefore crucial for many vital functions: Enables the formation of hemoglobin (the red blood pigment) Supports oxygen transport It plays a role in energy production in the mitochondria. Strengthens the immune system A targeted iron deficiency test helps to detect this often insidious deficiency early and to counteract it effectively. Official reference values for ferritin often start at around 15–30 ng/ml – but this does not automatically mean that the body is adequately supplied. Values below 50 ng/ml are already associated with symptoms of iron deficiency in functional medicine , even if they are formally still considered normal. An iron deficiency test provides a clear assessment of how well the reserves are actually replenished and whether targeted support is advisable.
